David and Solomon—the Miraculous Profile

 

David, i.e., Nabi Daud ʿalayhi as-salām, was more than just a King who ruled over a kingdom. Both he, and his son Solomon, i.e., Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām, were unique in Allah’s creation since the Qur’an disclosed that Allah Most High caused the mountains and the birds to sing with David in His divine praise, and that Solomon was taught the language of the birds:

 

(Qur’an, al-Anbiyah, 21:79)

…  And Allah Most High, caused the mountains to join David in extolling His limitless glory, and likewise the birds:  for Allah is able to do all things.

 

(Qur’an, al-Naml, 27:16)

And in respect of this miraculous profile, Solomon was truly David’s heir; and he would say: Oh people! We have been taught the speech of birds, and have been given in abundance of all good things: this, behold, is indeed a manifest favor from Allah!

 

Not only were these two Prophet-Kings blessed as described above but, in addition, Solomon could control the weather: 

(Qur’an, al-Anbiyah, 21:81)

And Allah made the stormy wind subservient unto Solomon, so that it sped at his behest towards the land which Allah had blessed, i.e., the Holy Land:  for it is Allah Who has knowledge of all things.

 

When the ants spoke, Solomon, i.e., Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām could understand what they said:

(Qur’an, al-Naml, 27:18)

Solomon and his forces travelled until they came upon a valley full of ants. An ant then exclaimed: Oh ants! Go quickly into your dwellings, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you without even being aware of you! 

 

The Qur’an disclosed that even the Jinn were divinely bonded, at the pain of great punishment for deviation from Allah’s command, to work for Solomon, i.e., Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām in the manufacture of numerous items of copper that were of use to Holy Israel in the Temple, i.e.,  Masjid, which he had built. They obtained that metal from a fountain of copper which Allah Most High bestowed on him. As a consequence, the Jews will expect their Messiah to do the same:

 

(Qur’an, Saba, 34:12)

Allah caused a fountain of molten copper to flow at Solomon’s behest; and among the Jinn there were some that had been constrained to labour for him by his Lord-God’s leave and whichever of them deviated from Allah’s command, him would Allah let taste suffering through a blazing flame.

 

(Qur’an, Saba, 34:13)

The Jinn made for Solomon whatever he wished of sanctuaries, and statues, and basins as large as great watering-troughs, and cauldrons firmly anchored. Allah said: Labour, Oh David’s people, in gratitude towards Me, and remember that few are the truly grateful—even among My servants! 

 

(Qur’an, Sad, 38:17) 

Allah Most High advised Prophet Muhammad to bear patiently with whatever those opposed to him may say, and to remember His servant David who was endowed with so much inner strength! He, verily, would always turn unto Allah.

 

Perhaps one of the events in the life of Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām that was revealed in the Qur’an allows us to anticipate the kind of assistance that the Jinn can provide to Dajjal in Akhir al-Zaman. The event concerns the wondrous throne of the Queen of Saba’, i.e., Sheba. Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām wanted the throne to be brought to his court prior to the Queen’s arrival at his court. A Jinn offered to bring it in the twinkling of an eye. Here is what the Qur’an has to say concerning the assistance provided by the Jinn in this matter: 

 

(Qur’an, al-Naml, 27:38–41)

When Solomon learned that the Queen of Sheba was coming to visit him, he said to his council: Oh you nobles! Which of you can bring me her throne ere she and her followers come unto me in willing surrender to Allah? An ‘Ifreet of the Jinn said: I shall bring it to you before you rise from your council-seat—for, behold, I am powerful enough to do it, and worthy of trust! Thereupon one of the Jinn who had knowledge of the Book said: I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye! Then when Solomon saw it placed firmly before him, he said: This is by the Grace of my Lord, to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is a gain for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honor! Solomon then requested that the throne be so altered or disguised that she may not know it as hers: let us see whether she allows herself to be guided [to the truth] or remains one of those who will not be guided. 

 

The assistance provided to Solomon by the Jinn who, according to the Qur’an, had ‘knowledge of the book’, anticipates modern television, and the holographic casting of three-dimensional objects in mid-air without using any kind of screen, and other such seemingly miraculous things beside.

 

While the Qur’an does not identify the ‘book’ which provided the knowledge which, in turn, made it possible for a Jinn to relocate an object instantaneously to a new location thousands of miles away, it does confirm the existence of such a book. But we must consider the possibility that the word ‘book’ may have been used to represent a branch of knowledge. If so, then the possibility exists that Dajjal may have access to that branch of knowledge and hence, that the modern scientific and technological revolution is assisted by the Jinn, and that there are scientific and technological miracles waiting to occur in history which will attempt to replicate this event described above.   

 

We conclude by observing that the profile of the Messiah whom the Jews await, must compare favorably with what has been described above of the profiles of both David and of Solomon, i.e., Nabi Daud and Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām. There is an abundance of evidence which convincingly demonstrate that Dajjal has already made substantial progress in establishing for himself precisely such a profile.

Profile of the Two Great Prophet-Kings

  

Dajjal (Anti-Christ), the Qur’an and the Beginning of History

Profile of the Two Great Prophet-Kings

 

The Qur’an confirmed that David, i.e., Nabi Daud ʿalayhi as-salām, was chosen by Allah Most High as the ruler on earth who was given a kingdom (or State) over which he was required to rule or govern on the basis of Truth:

 

(Qur’an, al-Baqarah, 2:251)

And thereupon, by Allah’s leave, the Israelites routed them, and David slew Goliath; and Allah then granted him a Kingdom or State, and wisdom, and imparted to him the knowledge of whatever He willed.  .  .   

 

It is universally recognized that when the Qur’an referred in the above verse to a Mulk which was granted to David, i.e., Nabi Daud ʿalayhi as-salām, it meant a kingdom or State which eventually became known as Holy Israel. 

 

We deduce from the above that the Anti-Christ, or Dajjal, the false Messiah, must also be a man (and not a woman) who would rule over a Mulk, i.e.,  kingdom or State, which will lay claim to be Holy Israel, and that he must also possess knowledge and wisdom.

 

(Qur’an, Sad, 38:26)

Allah Most High addressed the Prophet David and informed him that he was appointed as a ruler who would rule or govern on Allah’s behalf on earth. David was then ordered to judge between men on the basis of Truth. Hence he had to judge on the basis of the Law which came from Allah Most High, and he should not follow vain desire by adopting a substitute secular law of his own. If he did so, it would lead him astray from the path of Allah: verily, for those who go astray from the path of Allah, there is suffering severe in store for having forgotten the Day of Reckoning! 

 

In consequence of this divine appointment, David, i.e., Nabi Daud ʿalayhi as-salām, established in the Holy Land the Holy State of Israel as a Khilafah State, i.e., a State in which rule and governance was based on divinely-revealed truth, and in which Allah’s Law was enforced as the supreme law. 

 

We can deduce from the above that Dajjal would also have to establish what he would claim to be a Khilafah State, in the Holy Land, and that such a State would have to (appear to) enforce the Divine Law as the supreme law. Dajjal’s Israel cannot, therefore, be a member-State of a United Nations Organization and be subject to the supreme authority of the UN Security Council. It cannot, also, be a member-State of the International Monetary Fund which prohibits the use of gold as money. The Jews would expect the Messiah to rule or govern on the basis of Truth. For this reason, Dajjal, the false Messiah, cannot expect the Jews to accept him as the true Messiah if his Israel is using fake money in the form of paper, plastic or electronic money. Israel will thus have to return to the monetary system of gold and silver coins. Every Jew in the world knows that the present monetary system is bogus, fraudulent and Haram, i.e., prohibited. Perhaps, the only ones now left on earth who cannot recognize what every Jew recognizes, are the learned scholars and leaders of the world of Islam—both in and out of the (hitherto) American Republic of Pakistan! 

 

Both David and Solomon, i.e., Nabi Daud and Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām, became kings who were raised by Allah Most High to a very high status in His creation, and who ruled over a mighty kingdom:

 

(Qur’an, al-Naml, 27:15)

Allah Most High granted true knowledge unto both David and Solomon, and they both responded with praise for Allah Who favored them above many of His believing servants! 

 

(Qur’an, Sad, 38:20)

Allah Most High caused David’s Kingdom, i.e., the Holy State of Israel, to become a very powerful State or Kingdom. Allah also gave him wisdom and sound judgment in speech and decision. 

 

In consequence of the above, Jews would expect the Messiah to rule over a Holy State of Israel that would compare positively with the mighty Kingdom of Israel under the rule of David and Solomon, i.e., Nabi Daud and Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām. We can now deduce from the above that Dajjal would have to seek to establish today’s Israel as precisely such a mighty kingdom and ruling State—hence Pax Judaica!

Deducing Dajjal’s Further Profile

Deducing Dajjal’s Further Profile

 

The historical record reveals that a large number of Jewish tribes were resident in Yathrib (a city located north of Makkah in Arabia) prior to the birth of Prophet Muhammad ṣallā -llāhu taʿālā ʿalayhī wa-sallam.  We know that they were present in Yathrib when the Prophet arrived in that city—having migrated from his native Makkah, since the Mithaq or constitutional agreement successfully negotiated by the Prophet upon his arrival in Yathrib, with which he brought into being (a plural model of) a state, makes mention of several Jewish tribes who were party to the agreement. Muhammad Hamidullah mentions in his book entitled ‘First Written Constitution in the World’ (Ashraf, Lahore 1994) that “ .  .  .  the Arab section of the population was divided into twelve tribes of Aws and Khazraj, the Jews were divided into the ten tribes of Banu Nadir and Banu Qurayzah”. It should thus be clear that Jews, who were a non-Arab people who considered themselves superior to Arabs, constituted a substantial proportion of the population of an Arab city located close to the very heart of Arabia, i.e., close to Makkah. 

 

It is quite appropriate that we enquire what brought so many Jewish tribes to the city of Yathrib. It is not enough to claim, as some do, that they were expelled by the Christians from Jerusalem and hence they fled to Yathrib. Refugees, who considered themselves, arrogantly so, to be superior to a native population, would be courting grave danger if they allowed themselves to grow in numbers to such an extent that they approached half the size of the whole population. There had to be a compelling reason which would justify such growth in numbers of an arrogant alien population in an Arab city. 

 

We recall that they had rejected the claim of Jesus, the son of the Virgin Mary, who claimed that he was their Promised Messiah. They had rejected that claim on the grounds that his mother had conceived him without being married (which was, of course, true) and they had concluded, falsely so, that he was born in sin. They therefore remained adamantly in wait of the Messiah promised to them by the One God. 

 

They were privy to information conveyed to them through the many Prophets who were raised from their midst, that a divinely-appointed person would appear in Yathrib. It was clear that they perceived it possible that he could be their Messiah since they even boasted to the Arabs in Arabia that he would so empower them that they would then have the upper hand against the Arabs. This fact is mentioned in several books of Sirah, i.e., biographies of the Prophet.

 

When Prophet Muhammad ṣallā -llāhu taʿālā ʿalayhī wa-sallam arrived in Yathrib with the startling claim that he was a divinely-appointed Prophet and Messenger, they were shocked and rattled since he did not conform to their profile of the expected Messiah, or even of a Prophet. 

 

Is it possible for us to deduce what kind of person the Jews were expecting, and are still expecting, who would be their Messiah? If we can discover that profile, we would then know more of the profile of Dajjal who is divinely-programmed to impersonate the Messiah. What was, and is, that profile?

 

Firstly, the Jews believed, and still believe, that they are the chosen people of the One God to the exclusion of the rest of mankind. The Qur’an rejected this (false) belief of theirs. It did so in verses which challenged them to seek death if they really believed they were Allah’s chosen people. Here is one such verse:

 

(Qur’an, al-Jumu’ah, 62:6)

The Qur’an addresses the Jews and invites them, bluntly so: If you believe that you are the chosen people of Allah, to the exclusion of all other people, then why do you not long for death—if what you say is true? 

 

In consequence of their (false) belief that they are the chosen people of the Lord-God, it was clear to them that the Messiah had to belong to the chosen people, hence he had to be a Jew. Muhammad ṣallā -llāhu taʿālā ʿalayhī wa-sallam was not a Jew! 

 

Secondly, they believed that the advent of the Messiah would result in a return of the golden age of power that they had enjoyed when the Lord-God chose David, i.e., Nabi Daud ʿalayhī as-salām, as a King and ruler, and bestowed on him a mighty kingdom. That kingdom subsequently became a ruling State in the time of his son, Solomon, i.e., Nabi Sulaiman ʿalayhi as-salām. It is possible for us to deduce that the Jews awaited a Messiah who would restore Holy Israel as a ruling State, and whose lineage could be traced to David, the divinely-appointed King of Israel. The Jews would also expect him to display the unique powers that both David and Solomon possessed. The Messiah could not be just another King; rather he would have to possess a unique stature and status comparable to that of David and Solomon, and he would also have to possess divinely-bestowed miraculous powers comparable to that which they possessed.  

 

If the above deduction is correct, then it would be essential for us to carefully study the profile of those two Prophet-Kings who were the founding fathers of Holy Israel, since it would be that profile which Dajjal would have to emulate or match.
